But on closer inspection you quickly realise they are two of the biggest names in the film
industry.

A woman from Merthyr Tydfil unearthed this photograph of Helena Bonham Carter and
Kenneth Branagh, who paid a visit to the borough more than 15 years ago.

Bonham Carter, pictured in a red jacket and blue baseball cap, and Branagh, in a grey
jacket, were shooting scenes from the 1998 rom-com 'The Theory of Flight' when they
popped into Sandbrook Care Home on Queen’s Road.

Linda White, 63, who is pictured in the snap, said: “It was lovely to have them pop in to
the home whilst they were filming.

“Not many people were aware they were filming in Merthyr at the time. During their visit, they were really lovely to everyone.”

The film legends had a well-publicised relationship for many years, before Bonham
Carter met her current husband, film director Tim Burton, in 2001, and Branagh married
film art director Lindsay Brunnock in 2003.
